...Australia's best artist

what a boring troll

i wont be painting you

talkbox said 15 days ago:

My favourite art was ''Carl Williams' funeral''.

having just viewed the slideshow on news.com, i like this one best also....but i think it needs dakota with a dummy in her mouth ...or maybe that could be another painting altogether?

I was very tempted to add the dummy...

maybe next time

well.. the show is over!

thank you all so much, those who came and those who bought things.

there's still the odd bit of people who arnt sure how to deal with me, which is kinda funny

saw this the other day and thought it was pretty awesome:

wow.. that is awesome

new blog post, including a new painting

This painting relates to a gig my band High Tea are playing... represented by the teacup constellation... The other bands playing are called Frozen Ocean, and Duck Duck Chop...

I'm thinking about selling this painting at the gig... if anyone's interested

Some paintings are still available for sale! : http://australiasworstartist.blogspot.com/2011/11/some-unsold-paintings.html

including this one, of Cameron, Ev and Shags...

Fuckin' beat this bitches! I am the worst visual artist ever!

needs more unicorns

Even though the ABC has cut back it's Arts Dept. funding back to employ on 2 staff Aus wide (true fact).. they managed to scrape enough money to pay my appearance fee (false fact) to make this 5 minute story on ''Australia's Worst Artist''

This goes under the hammer tonight!!

At the show... now at the Thornbury Theatre

you should be busy painting the correction over the top!

I handed the painting to organisers weeks ago... it's under lock and key and 2 inches of bulletproof glass

paint a correction over a sticker, so they can choose which version they want!

the winner of the auction can get me to amend it for the bargain price of 1 bottle of Rigas Black Balzam

Aaaah Ben, you are a modern hero.

That dead dolphin is like your signature motif Ben!

You should do a whole series like Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly but with the dead dolphin!
